I believe the review knocking the capacity, but I'll note the label says 1200mWh, not mAh.

Though even at their promised capacity, that's barely better than a normal rechargeable AAA.
What does being a public benefit corp actually stop them from doing on a practical level? I'm not familiar with the classification.

I am, on the other hand, familiar with the likes of Blockchain Capital, from whom Bluesky has accepted 15 million dollars in Series A funding. At some point they're going to get crypto wallets and air drops integrated just like Keybase did and the profits will come out of scamming the uninformed.
Thanks for catching that! I found a 2024 document [1] that indeed appears to explicitly forbid jeans.

I don't know either but perhaps "state of the art."
Yet another RAG/knowledge graph implementation.

At this point, the onus is on the developer to prove it's value through AB comparisons versus traditional RAG. No person/team has the bandwidth to try out this (n + 1) solution.
To add a little context here, I (the author) understand LLMs aren't the right tool (at least by themselves) for verbatim verse recall. The trigger for me doing the tests was seeing other people in my circles blindly trusting that ChatGPT was outputting verses accurately. My background allowed me to understand why that is a sketchy thing to do, but many people do not, so I wanted to see how worried we really should be.
It's definitely not open source
OR… I wonder if there could be some alternative?
90% of Kando is not the menu itself, but the very complex WYSIWYG menu editor. For this you definitely need a framework.

But also the menu itself... I guess I could draw it using OpenGL. Proper antialiasing and font rendering will be tough, but not impossible.

Then I want transitions and animations. Have you implemented something like this before, where a user can quickly switch between various states, animations need to be aborted, restarted right in the middle and so on? It's awfully complex.

Then I want this to be themeable. Users should be able to completely define the look and feel of the menu. Themes in Kando can drastically change the way the menu looks and behaves animations wise. Why should I spend weeks or months implementing something like this from scratch even if it will never be as good as CSS?

And I haven't written about international font rendering, emojis, touch, stylus, or controller input so far. Plus you get extremely powerful debugging and performance analysis tools as part of the framework...

It all boils down to the question: Do I really want to spent months or maybe years reimplementing stuff which is already there just to save 100MB?
Free for personal use with lots of local data, but not open source
I don’t think many is a hyperbole, it’s surpassed 100 arson attacks in Victoria alone…
> We’re already spending enough for TWO universal healthcare systems (for many countries), yet we have 500,000 filing for bankruptcy due to medical bills each year.

Well, you are spending approximately twice as much as the Brits in terms of percentage of GDP. (Comparing total healthcare expenditure, ie private plus public.)

But that doesn't mean that NHS-style healthcare is the best.

Singapore spends roughly health as much as Britain, and has no worse health outcomes. And we don't have a single payer system here.

I checked the published CVEs. Not only am I unable to find any proof of your security flaw remark (at least upon inspecting CVEs from the past two years), but you just contradicted yourself on both claims you made earlier by acknowledging that the Open Office developers are fixing flaws found in their software.

This lobbying is having the opposite effect of what you intend, since the more I see it, the more my opinion of LibreOffice sinks.
Facebook and ChatGPT are the opposite kinds of products.
>anything you would probably find in regular National news

1. I guess we can finally ban all those AI posts, then. And any lawsuit annooucement/updates.

2. you missed a caveat:

>Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, *unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon*. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I'd say an ex-president's death, one who outlived several procedding presidents , is an interesting new phenomenon.

as a tangent: that makes trump not only the oldest president ever elected, but also the oldest living president. only barely edging out W. Bush and Clinton. Kind of crazy.
Great line :)
Airtrain.ai and msty.app have had this for a while.

What isn't there and would be useful is to not have them side by side but rather swipable. When you're using for code comparisons even 2 gets stuffy
They chose apps that had personality. For instance, one of their flagship apps, Rocket.Chat, had a slash command for lenny face. https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/slash-command

This was good, and goes against the Zombocom problem.

However, as you said they didn't address self-hosting as well as they could have. I don't think it was because of other domains, but because they were envisioning people sharing them or paying for a cloud host, and didn't try to emphasize only apps that don't guzzle CPU, memory, or storage. Rocket.Chat is a MongoDB app. GitLab is another one: https://apps.sandstorm.io/app/zx9d3pt0fjh4uqrprjftgpqfwgzp6y...

Similarly on Dokku you wouldn't have apps sharing a database instance. If you had two apps that needed a database, you'd start two postgres instances.

I don't think they ever failed to see the Zombocom problem or attempt to avoid it. Curating apps for security made since. However, it didn't see enough use for them to add lots more apps to their library.
Walmart and Target have tons of warehouse expertise. Amazon’s moat is their software, where they have a far longer head start and they can afford to pay their employees due to AWS and other services’ high margins, as well as executing well on growth resulting in being able to compensate with equity.

Walmart and Target were far better than Amazon at logistics at the beginning, but they couldn’t execute (or didn’t focus on) software development as well as Amazon.

Meanwhile, Amazon figured out how to execute logistics just as good or better than the incumbents, giving them the edge to overtake them.
SOTA = “State of the art”

“Implant” would be like any remotely installable persistent exploit that grants access to an attacker over a period of time.

Also, I’m pretty luddite when it comes to highly-hyped AI stuff, (in spite of my income being heavily tied to developing AI models) but I have found ChatGPT to be shockingly good at explaining super niche terminology and even jokes. So I do recommend people feel comfortable turning to that if they ever feel uncomfortable asking “dumb” questions publicly.
It's pretty wild to call out someone's source as inconclusive but not link your own.

Not surprising though.
Not true. Everything made by BlueSky is open source, including the apps.

Anyone can host their own data.

Bluesky has said they have zero intention on opening advertising because the platform isn’t built for that paradigm.

No investor or potential buyer would get ROI from an open network. If they tried, anyone could open a new public good atproto network and users could easily migrate their data.

The very thing that gave Twitter value was it owned all its data. Bluesky does not own anyone’s data. They just host it.

Bluesky has a new crypto investor with a board seat, but there are no signs the investor has made any demands.

I think Bluesky will beat the odds.

Single cigarette takes 20 minutes off life expectancy, study finds
Not only is it hard to get started with Bazel, it's hard to continue with Bazel even once you do. Unless you are using Google practices (say, vendoring and compiling all dependencies), you will certainly end up mired in poorly-maintained third-party tools that will cause no end of fun side-quests.

My work became a lot more, ahem, linear, once I moved us off of Bazel.
Have a dose of anti-scorn from me. What qualifies any one of us to tell another that they're living their life wrong?
I meant 8 bits per character above, but passed my edit window. Ah well.
I'm betting on me.
I’m imaging a variable focal length across the image plane, decreasing as the distance to the centre increases.
I would actually bet that AI will prove to be particularly good at classical debugging - i.e. the effort of changing the code to make a given failing test pass while keeping all the other tests green too. This is pretty much what SWE-Bench is judging, and the progress there has been phenomenal.

We will still probably need humans to do validation (vs. verification), but I don't think it'll take "armies of people".
Yes. And Carter was an honest president. Which ended in his downfall. He was a bad president in the sense that he couldn't do proper PR with smokes and mirrors like every president afterwards.

Rod had a notoriously brutal TV writing schedule, but was able to spin a few good yarns.

It seems odd, but old stories like "What You Need" (s1e12), collaborated works "To Serve Man" (s3e25) and "People Are Alike All Over" (s1e25) still seem to describe entering the senior realms of business.

"The Lonely" certainly broke down the notion of compassion within the context of civilization. Like all Rods better work, it answers the question "who am I?" for the fictional character.

Entertaining production for sure, but no one person should have had to carry that kind of workload =3

The good local model isn't creating a profile about me, my preferences, my health issues, political leanings, and other info like the "great" Google and OpenAI are most likely doing based on the questions you ask the models. Just imagine if one day there's a data breach and your profile ends up on the dark web for future employers to find.

More than anything, it requires lots of time. Time that busy adults don't have.
Hamas breaks way more rules of war than Israel does, this is the punishment for that. It is impossible to "play fair" when the opponent is hiding their active soldiers among civilians, there is a reason that isn't allowed.
The man is such a prima donna. First the Niemann dispute, now he needs a dispensation because he won’t stick to the dress code rules.
Thanks for the response, it does sound like you've seen similar treatment of LLMs by others to what I've observed.

I think though that an important part of communicating about LLMs is talking about what they are designed to do and what they aren't. This is important because humans want to anthropomorphise, and LLMs are way past good enough for this to be easy, but similar to pets, not being human means they won't live up to expectations. While your findings show that current large models are quite good at verbatim answers (for one of the most widely reproduced texts in the world), this is likely in no large part down to luck and the current way these models are trained.

My concern is that the takeaway from your article is somewhere between "most models reproduce text verbatim" and "large models reproduce popular text verbatim", where it should probably be that LLMs are not designed to be able to reproduce text verbatim and that you should just look up the text, or at least use an LLM that cites its references correctly.

Well yea, a pre-built with no regards for repairability will always end up more tighly packed than something that needs to fit in a standardized battery, etc. And in Framework's case, an entire GPU.

That's pretty much why phones never had a chance for this idea until very recently (and AFAIK, those recent examples are still not commercially available).

Parallax will continue to offer both the original Propeller and the second generation chip, known as P2 or Propeller 2 basically as long as they remain in business.

The idea was to offer more capabilities to existing Propeller users as much as it was attracting new users for whom the first chipboard not make sense.

The newer design being named a "2" can be confusing!

They are similar, yet very different devices.

This project uses the original, which in my opinion, was the perfect choice.
Very common with overly optimized hash functions, such as fletcher4. The remaining bytes mod 4 are just ignored. BSD's nbperf does the same. Very sloppy
So my four pigs analogy, where insurance companies, drug/device companies, doctors/hospitals, and lawyers all feed at the trough, increase costs and point to someone else (although I will admit lawyers are probably the smallest cost component and the most blamed by the other three).

There is a fifth one that imposes costs: our comprehensively unhealthy food, health, and lifestyle in America that capitalism feeds upon with addictive high-margin food and drink, with overworked workers that can barely have time to raise kids (our healthy demographics are due to immigration) much less a healthy lifestyle. The entertainment complex certainly doesn't help either.

Providers: you need comprehensive family care to avoid specialist care being needed, an increase in supply of doctors, decreasing their educational loan burden (which strongly incentivizes specializataion, and a system that involves specialists). I think advanced AI systems can do much more day-to-day tracking and diagnosis/information, but of course that is a personal information nightmare. Actually I don't mean advanced. I think current AI is plenty good enough. Unfortunately only insurance companies will employ these systems or pay for them.

Insurance: Probably need a medicare-for-all option. We were close to this with Obamacare but FUCKING JOE LIEBERMAN killed it. Exhibit A in why the Democrats with full control of government will never get anything done.

Drug/Device companies: reduce patents, I don't know, maybe allow price negotiation (which is just mind blowing in a "free market" economy), reform the FDA to make bringing drugs to market cheaper.

Lawyers: caps caps caps so there isn't costly malpractice insurance. Maybe would also necessitate a federal review board to weed out "bad doctors".

But the biggest is probably governmental direction to actually get people to be able to eat and live active lives. Maybe GLP-1 will help, but the quiet time bomb of increasing obesity in Americans each decade is probably a sneaky large amount of our costs.

Otherwise, on the nihilistic side, keep doing whatever our society is doing which is causing men to kill themselves in huge rates (soma ... uh... I mean opioids were also doing this as well) before they reach their ultra-expensive late stage of life.

Anyway, none of that is happening (except, sadly, the nihilistic solution is the most realistically happening).

Maybe setup huge provider networks across the border in Mexico and Canada served by high speed transit, so large portions of the world get health maintenance in functioning health care systems, and only do hospitalization and emergency care here?
Thanks for the research.

How are any lunar orbital trajectories relatively safe given the same risks to all crafts at such altitudes?

Is it mass or thrust, or failure to plan something better than inconsiderately decommissioning into the atmosphere and ocean.

If there are escape windows to the moon for other programs, how are there no escape windows to the moon for the ISS?

Given the standing risks of existing orbital debris and higher-altitude orbits' lack of shielding, are NEO impact collisions with e.g. hypersonic glide delivery vehicles advisable methods for NEO avoidance?

The NEO avoidance need is still to safely rendezvous and shove things headed for earth orbit into a different trajectory;

Is there a better plan than blowing a NEO up into fragments still headed for earth, like rendezvousing and shoving to the side?
I see this as the crux of most issues in modern American politics - that is, the primary elections… they act a feedback loop galvanizing each party. i.e. the fact that you can’t become “the repub/dem candidate” unless you represent the party’s values to the most extreme extent means the selection of a moderate candidate becomes increasingly unlikely with time.
A couple other comments touch on the point I want to make, but I feel they don't nail it hard enough: if today you told me you had a website that was 100% technologically identical to Amazon, but you were willing to make slightly less money, you'd still have no products... as a user I'd have no reason to go there, but then without users there is no reason to sell there, so you have a circular bootstrapping issue. That is a moat.

This is very different from OpenAI: if you show me a product that works just as well as ChatGPT but costs less--or which costs the same but works a bit better--I would use it immediately. Hell: people on this website routinely talk about using multiple such services and debate which one is better for various purposes. They kind of want to try to make a moat out of their tools feature, but that is off the path of how most users use the product, and so isn't a useful defense yet.
If I had a penny for every time I've blocked a tracker and broken critical functionality in an app or on a website because of it, I'd be rich.

I'm sad that that's the case, but in almost all circumstances, the relatively minor tracking of my email signing up for a service going into some advertising ROI calculation is outweighed by the fact I get to use that service.
Ignoring that this seems like a bad way to start a hopefully long-term relationship, this would largely limit your pool to people who don’t already have a job. If a senior candidate already has a job, why would they give it up for a sketchy 2-3 month contract and the vague promise of full employment?

It is an even more generic problem than that since it also applies to bureaucracy and by extension the government.

While I agree with you on the basic issue of monopolies, I think the biggest monopoly problem is the U.S. government. It's so massive that it absolutely dwarfs all other monopolies, like Google.

I would therefore like a solution that does not, in any way whatsoever, increase the power of the US government.

My original comment was mainly about the western agencies / think tanks making such predictions. Russians were denying the invasion till it actually began, so there aren't any public statements, of course.

But what Russians expected can be inferred from what they did - their initial Kyiv offensive, Hostomel landing, it's a clear attempt at a decapitation strike. It's actually a carbon copy of the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia which fell without a fight which is apparently what Russians expected here as well.
